Open carry is for those that want to draw attention to themselves. I am not a fan.
P7's are slim, I wouldn't mind one of them for CCW.
As far as holsters go, I'm partial to Kramer IWB's. I'm a 1911 and Hi-power kinda guy. The #3 makes a Commander sized 1911 very comfortable all day.

This guy makes very nice stuff, I've got one of his Reinforced snap mount OWB for my tupperware gun. http://www.taurisholsters.com/index.cfm
Milt Sparks is also very nice, but be prepared to wait.

Ming, if you're still looking for a carry piece, the best advice that I can give is to go to a gun store that has a range and a good rental section. Try as many as you can, stay in calibers 9mm Para and greater, and pick the one that you shoot best with.
A proper CCW setup consists of a holster, spare magazine pouch, and a gun belt. Most people skip the last one, and it's just as important as the other two.
My current CCW setup is a Raven Concealment System's Phantom (found at http://www.themalabarfront.com) and spare mag carrier, and I've had great success with the Frequent Flyer gunbelt from The Wilderness (http://store.thewilderness.com/index.php). This setup allows me to effectively conceal even in my typical off-duty summer attire of t-shirt and shorts.
Oh yeah - my carry gun is a Glock 19.
ETA: If you haven't done so already, get yourself into a basic handgun course. Here's a good example of what to look for from Vickers Tactical:

For the record it is possible to get a CCW in the Dumb O'Cratic Republik of Kalifornia even if your name is not Feinstein , Boxer or Nazi-Pelosi.
Just have to know which county and sheriff to use, wink wink.
Fobus holsters for off the shelf. I have mine made for me. Bespoke is always better.
For the Cali haters from AZ. Guys I dove, hog, sheep hunt in your state every year. But when the hotel desk clerks look at my ID and then ask why in hell I would leave my city to visit hell in their city it speaks volumes.

If you need to carry a concealed weapon then you seriously need a better job so you can afford to move away from the ghetto.
